“The selection of Dan Halperin seems especially fitting. A former
member of the Georgetown Law faculty, Dan knew Marty Ginsburg well, and
he is one of the country’s leading authorities on tax law and policy,”
said [Dean William] Treanor. “We are grateful to H. Ross Perot for his generosity in
endowing this chair. It is a wonderful tribute to Marty and his
distinguished contributions to the legal profession and to Georgetown
Law.” ...

Widely regarded as one of the nation’s foremost tax law experts,
Martin D. Ginsburg joined the Georgetown Law faculty in 1980, after his
wife, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, became an
appellate judge in Washington. He served on the Law Center faculty until
his death in 2010 [TaxProf Tribute here].
